How long does a cryotherapy session last?
Cryotherapy chambers are among the most innovative tools in the fields of regeneration, wellness, and longevity. Yet one of the most common questions from interested users is: How long should you stay in the chamber?
In this article, you’ll learn which application times are recommended, what the duration depends on, and how the Powercab® guarantees a safe and effective experience.
Typical duration of a cryotherapy session
A session usually lasts 2 to 4 minutes. That may sound short – but due to the extreme temperatures of up to –110 °C, this timeframe is more than enough to achieve the desired effects.
👉 Beginners typically start with 1.5 to 2 minutes to gradually get used to the cold.
👉 Experienced users extend to 3 to 4 minutes for maximum impact.
Why is the time so short?
At temperatures down to –110 °C, the body reacts immediately:
- Blood vessels constrict, metabolism and circulation are stimulated.
- After the session, vessels dilate again – circulation intensifies.
Just a few minutes are sufficient to promote regeneration, boost the immune system, and enhance overall well-being.
A longer stay brings no additional benefit – the key is reaching a target skin temperature of approx. 13.6 °C. This value is safely achieved within minutes and is considered optimal for triggering the positive physiological effects.
How often should you use a cryotherapy chamber?
- Wellness & Longevity: 2–3 times per week for sustainable benefits
- Sports & Performance: as needed, e.g., directly after intense training or competition
- Hotels & Spas: guests usually enjoy cryotherapy as a highlight experience during their stay
Conclusion
The optimal application time in the cryotherapy chamber is between 2 and 4 minutes. This is sufficient to reach the target skin temperature of approx. 13.6 °C – the crucial threshold where positive effects such as regeneration, energy boost, and improved sleep begin.
